The Children’s Clinic recently participated in the Walk MS – Northeast Arkansas on team Docs Fight MS Walk on April 26, 2014 at Jonesboro High School. Docs fight MS raised 11,340.00 for the cause.

The walk is a fundraiser for finding the cure for Multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling, disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Millions of people are affected by MS and the challenges of living with its unpredictable symptoms, which range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS.

Dr. Rouse and Dr. Sneed handed out medals for the winners of The St. Bernards Medical Group Health & Fitness Expo Kids Rock and Run 5K.

Participants dressed as their favorite hero and kicked the run off with a parade at the Convocation Center. The run is a one mile run and the culmination of a 13 mile challenge. Kids were challenged to run 12 miles prior to the event and run their last mile at the expo.
